Kasun Vidura’s mammoth 140-run knock against Air Force SC was the highlight of the day in terms of batting performances. Chilaw Marians’ batter Vidura’s innings came off 131 balls with 12 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 106.87.
The 19-year old Wellalage continued to impress with the ball as he ran through the Sebastianites’ batting line up taking 5 wickets for 21 runs.
The off-spinner Akila Dananjaya also bowled an impressive spell (5/31), supporting him at the other end as the duo snatched a miracle victory for Colts in a low-scoring encounter at their home ground.
National capped Asela Gunaratne (89), Thisara Perera (64), Lakshan Edirisinghe (78) and Asanka Manoj (4/66) starred in Army Cricket Club’s massive win over Nugegoda Sports & Welfare Club.
